While many of the rules of business have changed, the fundamentals haven’t. Meeting investor expectations begins with the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of information in your financial statements and disclosures. The audit is key to sustaining confidence in both your company and the financial system at large. It must keep pace with a fast-evolving corporate reporting environment – one characterised by investor scepticism and the 24/7 scrutiny of corporate information, including non-financial information. Auditing thus involves much more than just the legal obligation of certifying annual accounts. Whether annual and consolidated accounts or special audit services and certifications, having the objective judgment of external auditors makes information more reliable for all decision makers. Our professionals at Nangia & Co have many years’ experience, competence, industry knowledge and integrity. Our audit approach, is tailored to suit the size and nature of any organization and draws upon our extensive knowledge and talent, understanding of laws, regulations and legislation. We approach your audit with a deep and broad understanding of your business, the industry in which you operate, and the latest regulatory standards, helping you deliver value confidently through transparency of your reporting to stakeholders.

Risk management is a big concern for both audit committees and senior management in corporate internally. Internal audit is an independent management function, which involves a continuous and critical appraisal of the functioning of an entity with a view to suggest improvements thereto and add value to and strengthen the overall governance mechanism of the entity, including the entity’s strategic risk management and internal control system. Internal Audit helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. With commitment to integrity and accountability, internal auditing provides value to senior management as an objective source of independent advice. We provide accounting and auditing guidance which constitutes valuable insights for audit committees, chief financial officers, controllers, financial reporting groups, and internal audit directors.

Internal financial controls include policies and procedures adopted by the company for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including regulatory compliance and prevention and detection of frauds and errors, thereby covering not only the controls over reliable reporting of financial statements (more commonly known as Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (“IFCFR”), but also include all other controls pervasive across the business. The Companies Act, 2013 (the “2013 Act”) has imposed specific responsibilities on the Board of Directors (“Board”) towards the company’s internal financial controls and, inter alia, requires the Board to state that they have laid down internal financial controls to be followed by the company and that such internal financial controls are adequate and were operating effectively. By placing more accountability and responsibility on the Board and Audit Committee with respect to internal financial controls, the 2013 Act attempted to align the corporate governance and financial reporting standards with global best practices. With adequate and effective internal financial controls, some of the benefits that the companies are experiencing include:

• Senior Management Accountability
• Improved controls over financial reporting process
• Improved investor confidence in entity’s operations and financial reporting process
• Promotes culture of openness and transparency within the entity
• Trickling down of accountability to operational management
• Improvements in Board, Audit Committee and senior management engagement in financial reporting and financial controls
• More accurate, reliable financial statements
• Making audits more comprehensive
